May will March on in August style. WC favourites, look out! She's really finding her groove now.

Maeda/Suetsuna, so often the nearly pair, finally make good!

Towi/Lily justify their ranking and remain on message. Great job!

Some random thoughts.....

Sindhu seems to have lost some of the edge she had, somehow; she looked tentative in at least two of the matches I saw, and her defence sucks! Back to the gym, girl!

The find of the tournament for me at least, was Prannoy. Fearless, with the skills and strength to back it up. Strong as an ox. Got the height, the muscle and lungs. Got strong wrists, too. Like so many Indian players, needs to build more consistency, get better conditioning, and improve front-court coverage. Possibly top-25 in a year, if he's given the backing and chance to participate in enough tournaments.

KSH needs to focus only on MD; I think, only then can he and LYD be the really standout combination that we used to expect of LYD/CJS.

In another year or two, the horde of young doubles teams from INA will be coming of age; then everything may change. Sadly, the regeneration of their famed MS strength (and to some extent the WS) has not taken off...

I think exactly the opposite; I think MX will help him develop more awareness and tactical astuteness. It's also more common in the mixed to press up on the half-court (noticed his absence there in the mixed a few times). Al things he could do with adding to his game.

Agreed. I also think it's healthy for him to be the leader in the partnership as opposed to his MD partnership where most ppl see LYD as some kind of god who has no faults...and XD was originally his strongest discipline. I think he can draw confidence from a good partnership, and he and KHN have certainly had a good start.

Lots of complaints I've seen from European players about food poisoning while in India this week. Explains the poor performance of some.

May i know who are those whom you have seen complaining?? I mean those " Lots of European players". I have never seen anybody complaining about the food.. Please i ask you to mention those lots of names from Europe who complained about the food and any proof??

No need to be obnoxious Very common that Europeans who aren't used to the regional cuisine (and more importantly, all the different bacteria/germs in the water) get mostly minor food poisoning. A friend just went to India for vacation and got sick from drinking tap water once.
Anyhow, people getting sick is mostly their own fault for not being cautious enough (only drinking closed, bottled water).

One or two rare examples occurs in every tournament. I have examples who liked the indian food . For example, Juliane schenk in one of the interviews, she said that she liked indian food.. Here are the excerpts of the interview..

Do you like playing in India?
I totally enjoy it here. I love the people, the food. This is my third visit to India and second time to New Delhi. I have very good memories. Maybe I will come back again. ............................

blah..blah..blah.

I just wanted to mention you that you can't bluntly say like as if "lots of european players got affected". I accept that one or two got affected and it happens to anybody who participates in any of the tournaments around the world.
